When most people think about the state of Texas they don’t think it would have a a lot of water, but in actuality there is a ton, especially in the area surround Austin.

The Colorado River runs right through the heart of the city and was damned in the 1930’s which created a series of lakes. This kayak and paddleboarding mecca is where Lone Star Kayak Tours does daily kayak tours and rentals. In the evening hours, LSKT offers a Bat Tour of the Congress Bridge which is home to a colony of 5 million bats. At sunset these night flyers head out into the Austin skies to feed on insects. The sight of 5 million bats all flying out at once during sunset is nothing short of spectacular. Mark it down on your bucket list becasue you are in for a treat my friends.

LSKT also offers daily tours of the San Marcos River, the Guadalupe River, and San Gabriel River. These tours specialize in not only fun, but education on the what we like to call “Hidden Texas.” These beautiful ecosytems are teaming with fish, fauna, and other wildlife.
